In indoor action, the 6 Walton Junior teams completed the indoor season at the East Marietta YMCA. 3 boys teams and 3 girls teams competed during the winter season. On the boy’s side, the U-14 Walton “Italy” team, coached by Walton J.V. coach Ken Blankenship and Mike Fuller, finished in first place, winning all 6 of their games and scoring 91 goals in 6 matches.  The u-14 “Spain” team, coached by Dean Morris, finished 4^th, with a 2 and 4 record.  Morris commented, “Good season, enjoyed it, and will look to bring another team back next winter.”

The u-12 boys team, coached by Patrick Curry, finished in 2^nd place behind a strong Santo’s Elite team. The season came down to the last game, and the loss to the Santo’s ended their season with a 5 win, 1 loss record. They outscored their opponents 45 to 15. Overall, a great showing for the Walton Boys.

The Walton Junior Raider Indoor Soccer league wrapped up it’s first season with a winter team camp held at Walton High School on January 20^th. Over 50 players attended the mini-camp run by the boy’s varsity head coach Bucky Boozer and girl’s head coach Bruce Wade.  The players got a good workout and the coach’s got to see some of the incoming talent on future Walton championship teams.

All 3 of the girls teams competed in the u-14 bracket, although many of our players were younger girls. They got to see play against some great competition. The “Brazil” team, coached by Michael Burger, finished strong in 2^nd place, with a 4-1 record. The “Sweden” and “Argentina” teams, coached by Dan Mason and Tony Consolo respectively, both played tough games with many u-12 players playing up in age.  They improved as the season progressed and had fun playing for Walton.

Thank you to all the parents, players, and coaches that made this inaugural Walton Junior season a great success.
